When I was at university, delving into the fascinating, yet slightly intimidating, world of hieroglyphs, I made myself a desktop wallpaper with all the one-consonant hieroglyphs.

I found it really handy not only for having as a quick reference, but for just helping set them in my head. Every time my computer started up or I went back to my desktop, they'd be there.

My wallpaper was a little cruder back then than it is now, only having Microsoft Paint on Windows 95 (it was back in 2001!). But it did the job.

So here are some free desktop wallpapers for you: one-, two- and three-consonant hieroglyphs (the two-consonant ones come in two different wallpapers as there's so many of them).

It's a one-size-fits-all, so download the file (.jpg), then go into your screen settings and set it as your desktop. Make sure you set it to 'centre' on the screen. If you set it to 'fill', it'll skew the image.
